Outback’s Outpost ‘G.I.Joe 1986’ By Mitchell Smith!

August 3, 2020August 3, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. 1986 was a year for G.I.Joe, where it would be hard to top the 1985 lineup. But, this year produced so many great vehicles, it was kind of like MJ’s and the Bull’s first 3Peat. The 2 years had very awesome and unique vehicles and I love both years very much. First up is the Conquest X-30. I had one of these as a kid and I absolutely love it. I wish I would have grabbed a couple more of the modern ones when they went on…

G.I.Joe ‘Stiletto / Starfighter’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

August 2, 2020August 2, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m going with the space theme and taking a look at the G.I.Joe 1988 Cobra Stellar Stiletto and the 1993 G.I.Joe Starfighter. This was the same mold but they did an awesome job making this into 2 completely different vehicles. The Stellar Stiletto comes with Star Viper and the Starfighter comes with Sci-Fi. I did not have either of these as a kid but I do have them in my collection now. I love the design of these 2. It is a really cool one manned space shuttle…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘The Last Dance” Review By Mitchell Smith!

August 2, 2020August 2, 2020 Serpentorslair StaffMichael Jordan, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

The Last Dance is now on Netflix. This 10 episode documentary follows Michael Jordan and the dominating Bulls in the Nineties. Not only does it look at the players, but also looks at the coaching, staff, front office, fans and families of many of the players. I got into sports in general in the late eighties and nineties. The Bulls run was early on in my teen years. I didn’t have a favorite basketball team at the time and the Bulls seemed too good to hop on the bandwagon. It was easy…

‘G.I.Joe 1985’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

July 31, 2020July 31, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. 1985 is arguably the heyday of G.I.Joe. There were other great years, but yes this is one of the best all time years for G.I. Joe. I have way more as a collector then I did as a kid from this year, but this year paved the way for the years to come and all the great figures and vehicles I would receive as gifts. The A.W.E. Striker has become one of the best small vehicles and this mold was used over and over again. The Armadillo…

G.I.Joe ‘Zandar and Zarana’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

July 30, 2020July 30, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Today I’m taking a look at Zartan’s sister and brother. Zarana & Zandar were introduced in the 1986 G.I.Joe lineup, and these were 2 figures I did get for Christmas that year. I really loved both figures. They both had a unique look and unique weapons. Zarana played a large roll in the cartoon and sort of replaced Zartan and Baroness as the master in disguise. I thought Zandar could have had a bigger part in the cartoon, but I only remember him having a small part. Zarana was developed into this character that was…

G.I.Joe ‘Zartan’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

July 29, 2020July 29, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost, Summer is cruising right along, I hope everyone is enjoying it as much as possible. 1984 was a nice year for G.I. Joe and it introduced a great cobra character, Zartan. Zartan was a pretty interesting character right from the get go. Not only did he need to keep out of the sunlight, he lived in the swamp, and he had the Dreadnoks under him. Zartan was one of those characters that appeared in a lot of cartoons. He was mysterious and that created a wildly popular character. He did not…
